Deep In The Forest

from The Dusty Dream Hole by Bannerman

lyrics

Maybe it’s war and maybe we’ll fall and maybe that’s why our friends don’t ever call
If cornered in the dark we will always bark
Maybe our boy will be a bright spark and maybe his lip will curve in the devil’s mark
Oh well, life’s hard, but it won’t hurt him.

Maybe they’re wrong and maybe we’re right and maybe this tune will help us in the fight
Once bitten I will bite, but I’m sick right now
Maybe in you I can confide, locked in our room playing groom and bride
I miss old times when we were blind.

Stand up, as big as you are, I said stand up
You’re not getting far in those handcuffs
All rusted up like the black stuff that’s eating your brain
It’s the cancer, you imitate life like a camera
Capturing light in a jam jar and holding it up to the mirror
We’ll break it, come on!

Let’s go, can we all come.

No no, this isn’t me, I said no, no
It kind of looks like me but the head’s wrong
I’ve got bigger eyes and my hair’s long and what’s with those horns
Is it too late, but I want to change, is it too late?
I’ll eat up the sun and renounce hate
As big as I am, I can be greater, a leader of one.

Let’s go, can we all come.

What comes of wondering, what lyes in wait?
What comes from wandering, what lyes in wait?

Let’s go deeper in the dark
What lyes in wait for us?
Deeper in the forest what lyes
I’ll put a light out for you.
